Peculiar motions of galaxy clusters: correlation function approach
نویسنده
چکیده
The correlation function theory on the basis of prescribed boundary conditions provides a deeper understanding in studying the dynamical parameters of galaxy clusters. The approach approximates that the moderate dense systems discussed by a two point correlation function is helpful for describing the dynamical nature of galaxy clusters. The projected theory of two point correlation function for point mass and extended mass structures can be used an alternative tool in measuring the average peculiar motion and temperature profile of galaxy clusters.

Velocity Correlations of Galaxy Clusters
We determine the velocity correlation function, pairwise peculiar velocity di erence, and root-mean-square pairwise peculiar velocity dispersion of rich clusters of galaxies, as a function of pair separation, for three cosmological models: = 1 and = 0:3 CDM, and = 0:3 PBI models (all at and COBEnormalized). We nd that close cluster pairs, with separation r 10h 1Mpc, exhibit strong attractive pe...
متن کاملCluster correlations in redshift space
We test an analytic model for the two-point correlations of galaxy clusters in redshift space using the Hubble Volume N-body simulations. The correlation function of clusters shows no enhancement along the line of sight, due to the lack of any virialised structures in the cluster distribution. However, the distortion of the clustering pattern due to coherent bulk motions is clearly visible. The...
متن کاملThe Spatial Correlation Function From An X–ray Selected Sample of Abell Clusters
We present here the Spatial Two–Point Correlation Function for a complete sample of 67 X–ray selected Abell clusters of galaxies. We find a correlation length of 16.1 ± 3.4h Mpc with no significant clustering beyond ≃ 40h Mpc . This is the lowest uncorrected value for the correlation length ever derived from the Abell catalogue of clusters. In addition, we have investigated the anisotropy of th...
متن کاملGalaxy clusters in the Perseus – Pisces region — II . The peculiar velocity field
We have measured the mean peculiar motions of 103 early-type galaxies in 7 clusters in the Perseus–Pisces (PP) ridge or PP background, and a further 249 such galaxies in 9 calibrating clusters from the literature, using the inverse Fundamental Plane relation. This relation is found to have a distance error of 20% per galaxy. None of the 6 clusters in the PP ridge has a significant motion with r...

The EFAR project has measured peculiar motions in two distant volumes of the universe using Fundamental Plane (FP) distances for 85 clusters with 6000 km s −1 <cz<15000 km s −1. The scatter in distance about the FP is observed to be 20% per galaxy for EFAR sample, resulting in peculiar velocities with a median precision of 1075 km s −1 for the 50 clusters with 3 or more galaxies. We find that t...
